Image #1: This photo was taken at Chantmarle Manor, the home of the Nicholas family, Andy was our president until a couple of years ago when he passed away due to cancer. During the same year we held a memorial game at Andy’s cricket pitch, which sits outside the family home. The players are from the cricket club, friends and family this is an annual event at the end of the season.
Image #2: This photo was taken at the end of our away game with Shillingstone, who had Kumar Sangakarra the legendary Sri Lankan batsmen/wicketkeeper and Captain of his country playing for them. We lost the game but Olly Batt managed to get Kumar out for 6 caught by Brad Mullins. Kumar still plays for them now.
There has been a Cricket Club in Cattistock since before the wars. All that time the playing field has always been kept in superb condition, with all the work being done then at it is now, by the club’s willing supporters from across the village. And, through local funding, in the 1980’s the original pavilion was replaced with the existing building.
As well as always being a very friendly club to join, the Cattistock Cricket teams have been very successful over the years. They have won the Regional village trophy a few times, as well as the Dorset League and KO Cup.
Throughout the winter months the players maintain their good form with net practice, which this year is being being held at St Osmunds, Dorchester.
So, if you feel like watching some good cricket, in a beautiful setting, or maybe trying hand with bat or ball, why not contact the club and get some details, they would delighted to hear from you.
Local members of the Cattistock CC Committee are: Colin Mullins (Chairman), Jason Bradley(Treasurer) Kate Sibley(Secretary), Steve Tucker (1st XII Captain), Callum Mullins (Evening league XII Captain).
